In this special edition of SAU Weekly, we showcase the historic renovation of Leclaire Hall into what’s now Higgins Hall of Innovation and Human-Centered Design. Miranda Richards takes you back in time for a look at the Leclaire gymnasium and swimming pool. We’re also joined by SAU President Dr. Amy Novak to discuss her vision of the building as a state-of-the-art learning space for our Institute for Person-Centered Care, and Public Health and Social Work programs. We also introduce you to SAU alum Tom Higgins whose generous donation helped to make the renovation possible.
